Children's House in Bow was founded by the Lester Sisters in 1923. Designed by Charles Cowles-Voysey. They built an equivalent in Dagenham
Children's House in Bruce Road. It was built on the site of stables and originally was in Eagling Road next to a terrace of houses where my Grandparents and father lived before moving to Dagenham. My Uncle Gerry attended the nursery and conducted teh orchestra.
